Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys are considered promising structural materials for advanced applications, particularly in nuclear reactors, due to their excellent high-temperature strength and creep, oxidation and irradiation resistance. They achieve these properties through a homogeneous dispersion of stable oxide nanoparticles in a metallic matrix, impeding dislocation motion. This review also focuses on the main differences between conventional ODS alloys and newly developed ODS nano-composites. The paper presents a recent state-of-the-art summary devoted to their processing, properties and application potential. While traditional manufacturing methods like mechanical alloying (MA) and subsequent consolidation are already approved, additive manufacturing (AM) is an emerging technology offering the potential to produce parts of complex geometries. Thus, the review also deals with the problems of 3-D printing of ODS alloys. The prospects for ODS nano-composites are critically assessed.
Keywords: Oxide dispersion strengthened alloys, Nano-composites, properties of ODS nano-composites, synergitic effect and 3-D printing, Additive manufactoring.
